1月16日，THE联盟成员阳明海运、赫伯罗特、ONE及现代商船公布THE联盟2020年全面升级服务网络。
将扩大既有服务网络规模，提升联盟运力、优化靠港顺序、增加航班频率并减少转运时间，该服务网络将于2020年4月前后正式投入运营。
根据通知，现代商船加入联盟之美国联邦海事委员会(FMC)报备已正式生效，预计于2020年4月正式成为联盟一员。
此次全面升级优化航线服务网络，也是为了适应现代商船的加入。
全面升级后，THE联盟的航线服务网络，将投入280艘船舶，涉及33条航线，78个港口。
具体而言：
在强化原有航线网络的基础上，针对东南亚市场新增了航班弯靠频率，扩大直靠港的覆盖率。
新增一条钟摆航线，借以整合原有的远东往返西北欧航线FE5及越太平洋航线PS7。
该航线将配置18艘14,000 TEU级新型集装箱船，密集串连美国西岸、东南亚、西北欧及华南等地区，并且于PS3及FP1外，再增加每周东南亚直航往返美国南加州的航班频率。
PS3也将增靠越南海防，以提供更全面、便捷的服务。
推出了全新的美西南航线PS8，侧重服务华中及韩国市场，并为THE联盟服务网络增添了韩国仁川靠港。
还在FE2及FE4上配置了20,000 TEU级以上的超大型集装箱船。
